Solar powered watches are powered by using mild. A photovoltaic cell on the face (dial) of the watch converts light to energy, which is used to price a rechargeable battery or capacitor. The movement of the watch attracts its energy from the rechargeable battery or capacitor. As long as the watch is frequently uncovered to fairly robust mild (together with sunlight), it in no way wishes a battery replacement. Some models need only some minutes of daylight to provide weeks of energy (as within the Citizen Eco-Drive). Some of the early solar watches of the 1970s had innovative and unique designs to accommodate the array of sun cells had to energy them (Synchronar, Nepro, Sicura, and a few models by using Cristalonic, Alba, Seiko, and Citizen). As the decades progressed and the efficiency of the solar cells multiplied while the power necessities of the movement and display decreased, sun watches commenced to be designed to appear to be other traditional watches.

A not often used power supply is the temperature difference among the wearer's arm and the encompassing environment (as implemented inside the Citizen Eco-Drive Thermo).
